No I meant Jacquez. He played hard but he missed lay up after layup. He was their main ISO option and he just didn’t deliver.

I have never been A big fan of Juzang and his shooting is very streaky. Last year in the tournament he hit at a very high %. This year he hasn’t been very consistent.

I do really like Tyger. He really takes care of the ball and has really improved his shot. He hit that big three late in the shot clock

I won't check his TO rate, but Tyger has mad handles if by the eye test.

Sure but they would've been down 15+ without his efforts the first 3/4 of the game

Was the leading scorer by far until Tyger decided to show up

Wife got to feel some real March madness feelings watching the Dons.

She was asking about where the s16 was for there region and all that. Now she’s sad and texting her college friends.

I have seriously relapsed to as low a state as ever....

I watched (part of) every game yesterday. I never really got bored. Never turned the TV off.

Harm reduction is barely even a consideration, let alone any degree of control, reduction or abstinence....

Took the day off for my annual booze-a-thon with my buddies. Every first Friday of the tourney we sit at a bar for sometimes 14 hours straight, drinking, bullshitting, and watching games.

I am happy man today.

Why would they experiment with a new ball for the tournament? Must be money involved

Would seem they would have been told about an equipment change and in their shoot around s the day before, would have had access to the balls about to be used.

I never liked a brand new ball unless it was worked a bit. I will say the Spaulding brand is what we used back when they still hung peach baskets. If the ball is an issue then you better drive or have some great bigs

Well there's no universal ball. Usually the home teams uses their own ball from their equipment supplier. Arizona uses a Nike ball.

In the NCAA tournament, the NCAA provides the ball and it's usually Wilson and they're usually good. Wilson has usually been the best for shooters, over say Spalding.

Think we used a Wilson ball in the pac 12 tournament, might not have been the new one because it doesn't look as bright orange as the NCAA tournament one.
